Large-sized Museum Sculptures

This superb collection, which is the most important and largest collection of Dalí's museum sized sculptures anywhere in the world, brings to light many different aspects of Dalí's creativity. Each individual sculpture, from the "Dance of Time" to the "Triumphant Elephant", parallel his most prolific surrealistic themes and imagery.

Daum Glass Sculptures

The artistic collaboration between Dalí and the French Nancy-based Daum cristalerrie, resulted in a fascinating and original collection of ethereal glass sculptures. Ten of these creations are presented here.

Surrealistic Furniture

The furniture was borne out of a creative collaboration between Dalí and a Parisian furniture maker during the 1930's. The resulting pieces are as diverse as they are surreal, the Bracelli lamp and the Vis a Vis Sofa are some of the best examples.

Universal Tarot - Original Collages

These famous original artworks represent the universal 'Tarot' and were created in collage, watercolour and gouache. Dali is the only artist to have re-interpreted the major and minor Arcana since 1910. Dali painted this beautiful series for Gala, his wife and lifetime muse. The entire collection, rarely exhibited, is demonstrative of Dali's skill as an artisan and as an inventor of allegory.

Gold Artworks

Once again, Dalí's expansive imagination is dazzling. Dalí d'Or-Objets Montés (Dalí Gold-Mounted Objects) were created by Dalí in order to emulate royalty in all its excess and splendour. In a typically eccentric flourish Dalí went on to create twelve new objects assembled from his Dalí d'Or coins. Sacred emblems and legendary beasts inspired Dali to create these fantasmagoric golden objects.

Illustrated Books

Dalí, the undisputed graphic Master, undertook the enormous task of illustrating the great themes of literature in a style expressly Surrealistic – a style which defined him so well. This facet of Dalì's genius is unparalleled by any other artist in history. The etchings and lithographs collected for this exhibition have been carefully chosen for their rarity and uniqueness.
